Installing CAP Ls
1 ConnecttheCAPLANT1and/orANT2connectortoapassiveRFantenna.
a Obtain50ΩcoaxialcablesthatareofsufficientlengthtoreachfromtheCAPLtothepassiveantenna.
Theendofthe50
ΩcoaxialcablethatwillconnecttotheANTconnectorcanbeeitherapush-pull
connectororathreadedconnector.
b Installthepassiveantennasaccordingtothemanufacturer’sinstallationinstructions.Ifconnecting
bothANTconnectors,youwillconnecttheCAP
Ltoeithertwoseparateexternalpassiveantennasor
totwoportsonacross-polarizeddualantenna.EachconnectorsupportstwoRFbands(see
Table7-9).
c Is there a dust cap on ANT 1/2 that needs to be removed?
d Connectthepassivemulti-bandantennatotheANT1orANT2connectorusingcoaxialcablewiththe
leastamountoflosspossible.
• Ifthe50Ωcoaxialcablehasapush-pullconnector,makesurethecableisseatedfirmlyintheANT
1orANT2connector.
• Ifthe50Ωcoaxialcablehasathreadedconnector,torquetheconnector5N-m(3.69ft-lb).Donot
over-tightentheconnector.
e Connecttheotherendofthe50ΩcoaxialcabletothepassiveantennainstalledinStepbonpage112.
2 Ifnecessary,repeatStep1onpage112toconnecta50ΩcoaxialcabletotheotherANTconnector.
3 ConnecttheOpticalPort1connectorasappropriateforthisinstallation.
a ObtainSingleModeFiber(SMF)orMultiModeFiber(MMF)thatisofsufficientlengthtoreachfrom
theCAP
LtotheION-ECAN/TEN.[when would you use SM vs. MM?]
b RemovethedustcapfromtheOpticalPort1connectorandtheconnectorsontheSMorMMfiber.
c FollowthelocalcleaningtechniquetocleanOpticalPort1.
d CleantheconnectorsontheSMForMMFfollowingthefibersupplier’srecommendations.
e ConnectoneendoftheSMForMMFtotheOpticalPort1connectorandtheotherendto[to what
EXACTLY does the other end of the cable connect on the CAN/TEN or junction box
?]
UNRESOLVED: If Opt 1 can connect to the ION-E CAN/TEN or to a local Hybrid Fiber Junction Box to provide
the main signal and power interface, when does optical transport occur over Single Mode
(SM) or Multi Mode (MM) fiber? We need to identify what type of cable to use, and does
the customer supply the cable or does it ship with the CAP
